Watch the filmPivot — Pivot Planning & Pivot Ready
After the strategic decision is made, the remaining risk is permit / approval execution and project-side feasibility. The Pivot tier is two products that work together — Pivot Planning runs the council, permit, and consultant clock; Pivot Ready ships the DA package, tender-ready scope, capital-deployment sequence, and the project-side feasibility model. Run only on cases that already hold a current Intelligence Pack.
Pivot Planning · A$3,000 / month
Process work — runs the council/permit clock, recurring monthly.
S1 · Pre-DA council engagement
Structured early conversation with the relevant council before formal lodgement. Includes the meeting brief, position paper, and risk-of-objection read.
S2 · Permit-pathway research
Feasibility of the chosen permit route, comparable precedents on the same use-class and council, likely conditions, and known refusal triggers.
S3 · Council requirements mapping
What this council demands for this use-class on this site — overlays, referrals, neighbour-notification posture, traffic / acoustic / services thresholds.
S4 · End-goal methodology
Sequenced critical-path from current state → DA lodged → conditions cleared → ready to deploy capital, with decision gates and walk-away triggers along the path.
S5 · Consultant scope-out
Town planner, traffic, acoustic, building services, surveyor — who to engage, in what order, with indicative scope-of-work and cost band so vendors can be briefed and brief-checked from a single document.
Pivot Ready · from A$25,000 (scope-priced)
Deliverable-driven — ships artifacts. Alternative on request: 0.5–1.0% of GDC for institutional / large-developer clients.
B1 · DA package
Full development application package, ready to lodge.
B2 · Consultant coordination
Managing the consultant team scoped out in Pivot Planning S5, through the DA + tender stages.
B3 · Tender-ready scope of works
Scope documented to the level construction tenders can be received against.
B4 · Capital-deployment sequence
Staged drawdown / capital release plan tied to project milestones and decision gates.
B5 · Financial feasibility model
End-state valuation, residual / hurdle / margin-on-cost feasibility, development cash flow, debt serviceability through build & hold. Decision-facing — does the project pencil — distinct from the bank-facing Capital Readiness Pack which asks whether the owner can fund it.
